Lizzy's Samantha party was lots of fun. I had purchased a Samantha mystery kit for less than $5 last year after Christmas, not sure what I would do with it. It wasn't too hard to convince Lizzy that it would be a good fit for her birthday party. The kit came with the invitations and a script for a mystery game. Each girl came dressed as their assigned character and they did a great job of acting out the script. Grandma was invited to perform the part of Gertrude the maid and the girls were mesmerized by her outfit. It was truly a hit! Here a some pictures of the big day:
Lizzy, intently playing the part of Samantha.
Action!

The tea party spread
Here's the Birthday girl wearing the same dress that Grandma made for Abby's "Happy Birthday Samantha" party about 5 years ago. Thank heaven for Grandma and her sewing talents!
Lizzy and one of her best friends, Alexa (or should I say Nellie and Samantha)
Lizzy and "Gertrude" who was kind enough to answer the door in character.
Gertrude and all the girls!

very sweet! you are making such great memories for your children! My mom is the sewing queen as well - Sarah had a Kirsten outfit, the four oldest were King Peter, King Edmund, Queen Susan, and Aslan one Halloween...
unfortunately she's 700 miles away.
Fun memories! She'll never forget that day...and neither will her friends. :)
This is TOO cute - glad the petit fours and party were all a hit :)
I'm happy to see lots of new blog posts, too! I would never harrass, but I was desperately craving an update!!
Tell everyone HI for us, XOXO
You could so make a business out of party throwing! Well, you and Gertrude that is!
